Jewish Rye Bread

[@wildrose156]

Me too!!! Rye is my favorite bread. It is not sold in our little rural area. I asked once and was told no one in this area eats rye bread 😢 So here we are, I got rye flour online and I'm all in. I'll let you know how I did. 😊

[@BeachPeach2010]

The first time I made this bread a few weeks ago, my German hubby said it was a perfect loaf of half & half, which is what he said they call it in Bavaria. I just made my second batch and added caraway seeds this go-round. Perfect again! Now, I'm a hero, thanks. :)

[@elizabethallemong6951]

Ms. Nina, I made your rye twice, but with the dark crust I love so. I used a whole egg glaze and baked the bread with boiling water underneath and ice cubes at 450/400 degrees. My crust is heavenly! The bread is perfect! Today I made one giant loaf and it tastes like the rye straight from Poland. I am dancing a happy dance. Thank you so much!! Your are now my rye bread goddess. Ela from Ohio

Thank you so much for writing Ela! I love to hear about bread sucess stories, and I am so happy that you enjoy this recipe. We love it too. 💕🥂

[@juttasinclair1903]

How long did you bake the large loaf for please ?

[@elizabethallemong6951]

40-45 min. But I test it the first time. I preheat oven to 450 degrees], because when you open the oven to insert the bread and throw the ice cubes on the bottom, the temp. will drop fast. I insert the boiling water before, when the oven is heating up. Once all is in the oven, I reset the temp to 400 degrees and bake at least 40 min. Do not slice the bread (no matter how tempting) while the bread is still hot or even warm. Wait until the bread is cool. When you figure out your own baking time, make some notes on your recipe. Thanks. Elizabeth @@juttasinclair1903

I've made this bread several times before, but this time I had so many problems. After the long knead, my dough was way too liquid. I added more rye flour and more white flour to equal more than a cup. It was still very wet. I think that it may be that the rye flour I used, from Anson Mills behaved so differently that the recipe didn't work the same. But, here is the good news: it is fantastic. Wonderfully fragrant, firm crumb, crisp crust. Thank you for an enjoyable video, which I have watched several times. Best rye bread I have ever eaten!

[@ninainthekitchen1455]

Thanks for writing Alan. I don't know much about the milling process, but flours are very different depending on the mill. I'm curious; did Anson Mills flour feel different to you? Was it more or less coarse than what you used before? Regardless, I'm glad that it worked out for you. Happy baking!

[@gillgreen3446]

Hi Nina. Sorry it’s taken so long to get back to you. The last rye bread I made I used organic white rye following your recipe exactly and it was great, so much so my 51year old daughter said she’d be happy if that was the only bread she ever ate from now on. I decided to try dark rye and I found stone ground non organic dark rye. It started ok. I did the 3minute mix perfect, added the salt and caraway seed, set the timer to 8 minutes and watched first couple. Dough was as it should be so I left it and sat down. When timer went off it was a sticky floppy mess. I added white flour although not a lot and finished by hand. It actually looks and tastes fine, maybe a little sweeter but I’ll make again in the week. Not sure why it over needed if it’s because it was dark rye or stone ground. They were both different makes and don’t find much stoneground here. I’ve just found unbleached stoneground that I’ve been looking for for ages. Trouble is it’s on the web and only sold in 25kilo sacks. I don’t mind bulk buying but I prefer to try before I buy large quantities. I had a quick look at your pastry video yesterday. I do my sweet pastry almost the same but use self-raising flour and I roll mine out on a pastry cloth then un roll on rolling pin and unroll onto tin. Only way I can get it in without breaking. I noticed you have given weight in grams as well. Thank you so much for going to all that trouble. Grams are universal alongside whichever measurements countries have always used. You’re an angel. I’ll let you how my dark rye turns out next week Many thx for all your help

[@ninainthekitchen1455]

Gill, I am so happy that your breads have been such a big success! I have been testing a dutch oven bread recently. The best dough for that seems to be a high hydration method and let me tell you, some of them going into the oven have been "floppy" too. Even so, they rise and create a beautiful bread. As far as going metric; I had considered it when I started on KZbin. Now that I know people watch in the UK, Canada and other English speaking Countries, it just makes sense to use grams, besides I do weigh my baked goods as I work. Please let us know how that dark rye turns out! BTW, if you'd like to post a photo of your bread, go to my Facebook page and post it there. Here is the link: facebook.com/ninainthekitchen.net/?ref=bookmarks Thank you Gill.

[@gillgreen3446]

Nina In The Kitchen I have baked bread in Dutch oven but prefer ceramic.I’ve only used them on sourdough and high hydration which take more planning. Your rye bread is quick and easy as long as I watch next time I try the dark rye flour. I’ve never seen anyone roll the dough up the way you do it and find your way much easier. I have bad arthritis in my hand which causes a lot of problems shaping my bread but your way was quick and painless.

You're a wonderful teacher. You get to the point quickly, show what you're doing and WHY it should be done that way. I don't have a mixer with dough hook, so how long do I need to knead? I saw in one of your replies that you said not to push down hard on the dough, but how long should I gently knead it?

[@ninainthekitchen1455]

Hi Trenchant! Thank you for the kind words. 😘 Rye flour is a low gluten flour, just know that at first the dough will be a sticky, gloppy mess. After 3 to 4 minutes the gluten in the white flour will kick in and help to change the texture. Knead with your dominate hand and keep a bench scraper in the other. Keep going for a total time of 10 to 13 minutes. You can switch hands to make it easier. The measurements in this recipe always work out for me. Try to resist adding flour to the table if you can.Truth be told; hand kneading is the best education for learning about the look and feel of any dough. Thanks so much for writing and best of luck with your bake. Please let me know if you have any other questions and I'd love to hear how this bread turns out for you! Nina

I'm so confused!!! People in comments loved the bread but I had no success. I been working on finding a good rye bread recipe and I was excited by this video and ready to try your recipe! When I got started I noticed the written directions in the description were not the same as the video, as in water amount, flour amount, etc. I went ahead and went by the written instructions because I like to use a food scale to get the ingredients exact. The result was sticky bowl of goop. It was so insanely goopy, I had to toss out. I thought the water amount seemed too much but I decided to trust the process. If I wasn't supposed to add all the water it should have specified. And is there no exact ratio in this recipe? I'm a novice but my dad bakes and I know that ratios kind of a biggie in bread making. What's the del here??

[@ninainthekitchen1455]

Rye flour makes a very different dough than any other bread dough. And it is very sticky. You can only tame it by keeping anything that touches that dough wet . In other words only handle it with wet hands, or a wet spatula . To make it even more confusing, the darker the Rye flour the more water it will absorb. I used a medium Rye for this recipe The ratio of rye to white flour is 1:1 if you used a light rye then your goopy dough makes sense. As I explained in the video, the full recipe makes two 2 pound loaves so I demonstrate making 1/2 of the recipe. Maybe that was a mistake. I should have made that into one large loaf. However, the full recipe is accurate. Without seeing or being able to feel your dough I don't know what you're calling goopy. Again Rye flour is very different than any other flour. Please let me know if this helps.

@@ninainthekitchen1455 I used king Arthur medium rye flour. I have made rye bread before, not sure what went wrong with this batch. The dough was extremely wet.

When I went to hand knead it was all over my hands and smearing all over the counter. I had added flour several times to no avail. Maybe I measured the water wrong?

I halved the weights in the written directions to make a single loaf and the same thing happened - a sticky mess. It didn’t form a ball so I just kept adding bread flour. It was still sticky when I set it aside for the first proof. But it baked beautifully and tastes delicious. It has that crispy crust from the egg white. Maybe next time I will go with the cup measure instead of weight. Also, I love caraway seed, so I would add a smidge more whole seeds.

Thank you! I'm throwing away all the other (complicated) rye recipes I collected. Yours is a winner!--from a Jewish lady who couldn't find the rye of her childhood until now.

Thank you Lillian. I'm glad that you enjoy it! 🤗😘

Your teaching voice is excellent. Hope you also make videos teaching yet another type of learning besides cooking one day.

Thank you Karen 🤗😘

This is my favourite bread. Can’t wait to make it.

[@catalhuyuk7]

I finally made the bread. I love it!!! First time making rye bread that I actually enjoy. Thanks so much.

[@ninainthekitchen1455]

Thank you for writing. I am so happy that you enjoyed this bread. It's one of our favorites.

[@Hoyerlift101]

Just getting into bread making, I’m excited! Thank you!!

[@ninainthekitchen1455]

Welcome to the world of the breadheads! Being a beginner breadmaker may seem daunting sometimes, but remember that no matter how your breads bake up, they will always be better than store bought. You learn as you go. Don't give up! Breads are a very rewarding hobby. This is a delicious bread, but you may find it a little challenging. Remember to keep your hands oiled or wet whenever you touch it. Here is my bread playlist. Everyone one is special. Enjoy! Breads: kzbin.info/aero/PL_tb0gyirhyQ8u3ZE58fBjdbx9UH9k60b

Thank you so much , I ate this in my childhood , as it was available at Jewish deli s , sadly my mum wasn’t blessed in the cooking department , my family are. Ex litvaks and Russians on the other side when I was growing up we called this sweet and sour bread , I live in London now and have not been able to find any and I long for some , I think the sweet and sour name was just colloquial to my city so I haven’t known how to find it , and as all that generation are gone there was no one to ask about real name . So I was so thrilled to find your channel ,and the recipe I’ve been looking for all these years thank you so very much , it’s a mitzvah bless you

[@ninainthekitchen1455]

Thank you, Meme! Like you, this is a bread that I knew growing up. As an adult, I moved away from that area and decided to make it and bake it. Otherwise, it would be gone forever. I hope that you will make this and enjoy every bite. 💖

[@Meme-dp9gn]

@@ninainthekitchen1455 I’m so grateful to you ! I’m old now and retired and sadly my family have passed too , but being able to make this will bring back a lot of memories and comfort and I thank you for that , I just wanted to ask I don’t have a stand mixer ,but presumably I can still make this manually ?

[@ninainthekitchen1455]

@Meme-dp9gn you can make this by hand, but it is a very sticky dough. My advice is to use a spatula or bench scraper in one hand and keep everything that touches the dough wet or oiled. That makes the dough easier to handle. Use a light touch so that you don't expose the moisture in the dough. Best wishes and happy baking Meme.

@@ninainthekitchen1455 I will many thanks , I’m going to make salt beef ,with is the British equivalent to American corn beef .so I can make the Reuben you showed , It looks amazing thanks Nina ❤️

[@ninainthekitchen1455]

@Meme-dp9gn Yes!! Corned beef on rye 😍 enjoy! Now that you put that in my head, I may have to corn some beef too .

A Bread Recipe that actually turns out well and which our Family now loves. So many newer Bread Recipes lack flavor. Thx for sharing this fabulous Jewish Rye Bread Recipe with us Nina!*!

Thank you do much for writing this Lee. This is a great way to end the day!

Thanks for writing Susan.

[@anastasiagoreva9239]

Thank you, Nina! I made it 3 or 4 times, every time comes out perfectly! Only one thing, I leave one loaf as it is, and for the second loaf, when forming the loaf, I add garlic, herbs and dried tomatoes.

[@ninainthekitchen1455]

What a great idea! I just bought a 25 pound bag of rye flour so I will have to play around with herbal rye bread. Thanks for writing Anastasia!

Think of that as a base recipe. You were so creative with rye bread that I believe that you will enjoy playing with the Whole Wheat recipe. Enjoy!

Hello Nina. Wonderful video, thank you! I bake almost every weekend, and tried a Rye Bread recipe yesterday. It came out fine, but the flavor and texture were not quite what I was hoping for. I've been searching for other recipes and found your channel and this video. I am very excited to give this a go later today. The recipe is very clear and your instruction is informative and entertaining! Looks like you have a lot of terrific recipes on your channel, I can't wait to try more of them. Happy baking!

[@ninainthekitchen1455]

Welcome enoa, and happy baking to you too!

Amazing. Thank you! I am making Montreal smoked meat this weekend and this bread will make it perfect! Yes I have Kosher pickles- WOO WHOO!

[@ninainthekitchen1455]

May we join you? 😁 That's a very nice spread. Enjoy!

[@getoffmydarnlawn]

I made this right before Christmas and it turned out perfectly! It's a delicious, sturdy loaf with fantastic rye flavor. There is a learning curve when dealing with rye flour dough as opposed to straight up wheat dough, but I enjoyed the challenge. As mentioned in the video the dough is stickier and has a more clay-like feel rather than the springy, stretchy feel of a wheat flour bread. I will be making this again and again. Thank you for sharing this with us!

[@ninainthekitchen1455]

I'm so glad that you "get it". Yes rye is very different. Enjoy!

[@johnboyd7158]

FINALLY!Reason why bread dough is rolled into a ball - Explained! That alone is reason to follow you, Nina. Since I just received some King Arthur rye flour and seriously enjoy bread, I will be making this today; tomorrow at the latest Thanks

[@ninainthekitchen1455]

Thank you John. I have a New York bagel coming out tomorrow. The rye, and the bagels are hard to beat. Happy baking, enjoy the recipe!

[@barbaramanning8299]

First time here, and I subscribed. I am trying to duplicate a New York-style rye bread while living overseas. This is the clearest, most concise, and simple explanation/demonstration of how it's done that I've seen on YT -- and I've been looking for a while. Thank you, Nina. I'm definitely giving this one a try.

[@ninainthekitchen1455]

Hi Barbara, I think that you'll be very happy with this bread. I grew up with Ginsberg rye and NY Delis. Please keep in touch, let me know how it goes! 🤗

Made the rye bread, it turned out great. I really like the way Nina explains as she goes along.

My mouth is watering every time I watch your video. I will try your recipe soon! Thank you, Ms. Nina! I used to live in Poland and then work in New York City. There is nothing better that liverwurst on rye and with pickles. Or maybe with cream cheese and smoked salmon. Or maybe Ruben. When I am ready to hit the pearly gates, I want a loaf of Rye in my coffin. Love from Ohio. Ela

All of those sandwiches make me happy. Enjoy Ela 💕💕
